NATIONAL FORESTS AND 

 NATIONAL PARKS. 



The handling of the national forest 

 recreation resources inevitably raises 

 the question of the relation of the 

 national forests and the national parks. 

 At present there is no clear distinction 

 in the public mind between the two. 

 Both are administered for the benefit 

 of the public along lines which over- 

 lap. The parks and forests occur side 

 by side and have the same general 

 physical characteristics — extensive 

 areas of wild and rugged lands, for the 

 most part timbered, with development 

 conditioned upon road construction 

 and similar provisions for public use. 

 They differ chiefly in the fact that the 

 attractions of the national parks from 

 the recreational standpoint are more 

 notable. Yet this is not always true. 

 Several of the parks are inferior in 

 their natural features to portions of 

 the forests. The need of drawing a 

 clear distinction between national 

 parks and national forests and of a 

 definite policy governing their relation 

 is increasingly evident. Parks are be- 

 ing advocated where the land should 

 stay in the forests, while elsewhere 

 areas which should be made parks con- 

 tinue to be administered as forests — 

 for example, the Grand Canyon of the 

 Colorado. 



A national park should be created 

 only where there are scenic features of 

 such outstanding importance for beau- 

 ty or as natural marvels that they 

 merit national recognition and protec- 

 tion and. on this account, have a pub- 

 lic value transcending that of any ma- 

 terial resources on the same land — 

 such areas, for example, as those now 

 comprised in the Yellowstone and 

 Yosemite Parks and in the Grand Can- 

 yon National Monument. The areas 

 should be large enough to justify ad- 

 ministration separate from the forests 

 and the boundaries drawn so as not to 

 include timber, prazing, or other re- 

 sources the economic use of which is 

 essential to the upbuilding and indus- 

 trial welfare of the country. In addi- 

 tion, when parks are created from 

 parts of the forests, the portions re- 

 maining as forests should not be left 

 in a form difficult or impossible to ad- 

 minister. — Report of Secretary of Agri- 

 culture.
